(BY TELEGRAPH TO rHs rRtBuxEI
WASHINGTON, March 1.-The prospect Of q failure Of
some Of the general appropriation bills, which m
minent yesterday, has greatly diminished since this
morning, and 1t Is probable that all Of thom will
reach he President before Friday noon Whether he Will
be willing to take them trust and approve them with
out examination nobody In Congress seems to know Tho
complete surrender by the House Committee on Appro'
pratOns late last night moderated the hostility Of les op
ponents and weakened their determination not to allow
the Appropriation bills pass under suspension Of the
rules so that t was comparatively easy to induce the
House to consent to the proposition
Speaker Carlisle and his assistants had been busy for
hours with efforts bring the recalctrant Democrats
into ne and the latter had yielded certain conditions,
which we're quickly granted II any man 10 Congress
Is more earnest and anxious than all others to
avert the necessity of called session Of the Lth Congress-
that is Mr. Carlisle OF course the bills which
passed to-day received sch consideration they do

patchwork which Is designed to be Chinese copy OF the
bill passed year. The very least that the Democratic
majority could do to provide for next year the
which have been found inadequate to meet the require
passage today Of" Appropriations amount
The Deficiency bill is full OF imperfections. and 1t was
plainly admitted by the committee that the Senate s cr
the House. in its anxiety aud haste. has committed
The change In the temper OF the Senate ha. been al
most marked In the House. Chairman Allison OF
the Appropriations Committee, to-day expressed tho
opinion that the Senate would be able to dispose of the
last appropriation bill before Friday noon, although the
bills which passed the House today cant not reach until
noon tomorrow. That will allow the Senate and the
Executive exactly forty EIGHT their cOnstera
on One OF the bills carries some 100000 and tho
other $3,750,0U0, and together they ill about l70

will be for the Senate the President to deal ine
gently or carefully with these measures IN Che time which

CARDINAL GIBBONss RECOMMENDATIONS TO THE
VATICAN.
ROME, March 1.-The correspondent here of the
Associated Press is authorized to state that the Amer
Bishops take favorable view of the organization
known in the United States the Knights of Labor
Cardinal Gibbons has placed before the Vatican
forr al statement the nature OF the organization
and the attitude the Church should adopt toward It,
The Cardinal says in this that he considers tat any
condemnation of the Knights would be not only use
less but highly nopporune and that It might alternate
the sympathy OF the American laboring classes from
the Church and might hamper the mission OF the
Church TO the laboriug poor. In add ton to tins
CARDINAL Gibbons treats the alarmst theories respect
ing the Knights of Labor as pucrile, and says that
nearly onethrd of the men belonging to the organza
ton Roman Catholics Respecting the charge That
the ASSOCIATION secret order the Cardinal saws is
secret society in the sense condemned by the
Church and is consequently EXEMPT from canonicai
censure. In Canada the is different. Cardinal
Gibbons further says he considers the organization OF
the knights of Labor in the United Stetes not only
harmless but that il will possb.y be beneficial In as
sisting in the eventual settlement of the great question
of The proper relations between labor and capital
